### API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time KuCoin Futures WebSocket API with addition of local timestamps. If you'd like to work with **normalized data format** instead (same format for each exchange) see [downloadable CSV files](/downloadable-csv-files/overview.md) or official [client libs](/api/quickstart.md) that can perform data normalization client-side.

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
# pip install tardis-dev

async def main():
    async for local_timestamp, message in replay(

        from_date="2024-02-01",
        to_date="2024-02-02",

    ):
        # messages as provided by KuCoin Futures real-time stream

[Tardis-machine](/tardis-machine/quickstart.md) is a locally runnable server that exposes API allowing efficiently requesting historical market data for whole time periods in contrast to [HTTP API](/api/http-api-reference.md) that provides data only in minute by minute slices.
